The Record

STOCKTON – Three men suspected in a gold-chain snatching were arrested by Stockton Police Monday night.

A 57-year-old man downtown on business was walking to his car around 5:25 p.m. at Weber Avenue and California Street when one man came up to him from behind, struggled with him, and snatched a gold rope chain and cross from his neck. He ran into a vehicle as did another man. The victim reported the license plate number to police.

About an hour later, the Community Response Team saw the vehicle at Airport Way and Fremont Street and stopped it, detaining three occupants, and later arresting Cornell Seward, 20, Ncobe Williams, 20, and Ravin Jones, 21, on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy.
